FAUGET-BULB CONNECTION.

Application led January 28, 1927. Serial` No. 164,287.

This invention relates toan improvement the pipe M and the tubularextension, the

in hose connection for taucets, and cmupper terminal ot the spring 26engaging a ployed in `connection with shower sprays, shoulder 27 on thepipe. Thespring` 26 syrlngesandlike uses. i normally exerts pressure forcausingthe 6o `The invention consists `ot certain novel pipe 24, to beseated against thcloweiend 'teaturcsot construction and con'lbination otot the casingl() and preventing the ingress parts which will behereinafter described ot water to the pipe. The lower or `outer andpointed out in the claims. end .of the pipe 24, is connected to a hose2Q,

upper end adapted to be normally seated Having thus described myinvention, what against the lower end of the housing 10 tor I claim asnew and desire to secure by Letclosing the pipe 24. ters Patent ot theUnited States is:

The lower end ot the tubular extension E23 1. The combination ot ahousing for conim has an inturned flange 25 which forms a` nection witha siigot having' a closed lower sea-t :t'or a coil spring 26, interposedbetween end and lateral ischarge openings, a receiving chamber mountedupon the housing and provided With outlet openings in the base thereof,a pipe slidably mounted within the receiving chamber through whichliquid in the receiving chamber may be discharged, a valve carried bysaid pipe for closing the outlet openings of the receiving chamber, saidpipe adapted to be projected into the receiving chamber and intoengagement with the lower end of the housing for preventingthe ingressof liquid to the pipe and for unseating the valve carried thereby.

2. The combination of a housing for connection with a spigot having a.closed lower end and discharge openings therein, a reeeiving chambermounted upon the housing and provided with outlet openings in its base,a pipe to which a hose is connected, slidably mounted in the receivingchamber, means for normally projecting the pipe into the receivingchamber and causing the end of the pipe to engage the housing forclosing the pipe, and a valve carried by the pipe for closing the outletopenings oif the receiving chamber when the pipe is moved to a positionfor permitting the liquid in the receiving chamber to pass therethrough.

3. The combination of a housing for connection with a spigot having adischarge opening at its lower end, u gasket mounted Within the housingfor engaging the spigot, neans carried by the housing for compress ingthe gasket into engagement with the spigot, a receiving chamber mountedupon the housing and provided with Outlet openings in its base, a pipeslidably mounted in the receiving chamber and a valve carried by saidpipe for closing the outlet openings ot the receiving chamber.

4l. The combination of a housing for connection with a spigot, areceiving chamber mounted upon the housing, said housing provided Withan outlet into said chamber and said receiving ehan'iber provided withoutlet openings in the base thereof, a pi )e slid ably mounted Withinthe receiving chamber through which liquid in the receiving chamn bermay be discharged, a valve carried by said pipe for closing the outletopenings oi? the receiving chamber, said pipe adapted to be projectedinto the casing and into engagement with the lower end of the housingAfor preventing the ingress of li uid to the pipe and for unseating theva ve carried thereby.

ln testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.
